## Resource

Greetings Campers! Welcome to a Camp Hope sized episode with Colin and Tim where they finally give the fans what they have been asking for. But first - the guys respond to attacks on their journalistic integrity (something they never claimed to have) before a new segment called Planes, Tims, and Automobiles. They take a Billy Bob Thornton detour for some reason, before saying their farewells to West Canaan High School's best backup quarterback. Remembering James Van Der Beek helps the guys look back on the 90's and the kid oriented boom of family friendly comedies that shaped us all, culminating in the most thorough examination of 1995's Heavyweights ever put on record. Questions we answer: Has Troy ever seen Star Wars? Does the dog from Sandlot have a name? Why did Tim add Babe, Operation Dumbo Drop, and Cool Runnings to the list? Would Vinessa Shaw have married me? Did Rodney Dangerfield get respect at the end of Ladybugs? Why has lunch been canceled? Is that Gerry's dad sitting next to him on the plane? Why did Roy think it was? Where is Lars from? Is Salami Sam on his way? Has anyone seen more butts than Tony Perkis? What is the 18th Level of the PerkiSystem? When should you all be doing it by? This episode includes AI-generated content.
